Key Features

Select Text and Redact It Directly

Click and drag to highlight any text in your document that you want hidden. Redactable marks it for redaction immediately without switching tools or adding steps. The entire process happens inside the document editor.

Draw a Redaction Box Over Any Area

The Draw Redaction tool lets you click and drag a box over any part of a document, including images, logos, charts, tables, signatures, handwritten notes, or any section that automated detection won't catch. Resize or reposition the box after placing it. You can also use it to redact an entire page.

Redact the Same Fields Across Every Page

Draw your redaction boxes once using Draw Templates, and Redactable automatically replicates them on every subsequent page. Every box stays linked, so edits and deletions carry through instantly. Save templates to reuse across similar documents.

Attach a Reason to Every Redaction

A documented reason can accompany every redaction. Choose from predefined options or enter a custom one. Apply a reason to a single redaction or push it across every redaction in the document at once. When you finalize, those reasons tie to the redaction record.

Edit Redactions Before You Commit

Redactions stay editable until you finalize the document. Click any marked text or drawn box to delete the redaction or update the reason. Adjust as many times as needed during the review process. Finalization permanently removes the content, including the text, metadata, and OCR layer.

As a business owner, it’s important for me to prioritize the safety of sensitive client information that is shared with me.

It will give you peace of mind knowing that you are safeguarding client information while saving time during your busy workday. It’s a win-win, and I highly recommend Redactable!

Redactable automatically recognizes PII including SSN and credit cards. It has easy redaction features that I can bend to blackout bars, watermarks, and the interface is easy to work with. I have been able to use Redactable to ease my redaction process. It does away with the time-consuming and painstaking exercises of redaction which if done manually poses the risk of exposing data.

It's AWESOME! Love it and have told my colleagues in law about it. This program saved me about 30+ hours on a project with about 1,000 pages of medical records vs. doing it "by hand" and then saved me hours when it saved the redactions and allowed me to "unredact" per a Judge's order. WONDERFUL software!! I taught myself how to use the software in about 5 minutes - no joke. So easy to use!

Easy to use and very fast. I was able to comb through dozens of documents to redact sensitive information in a matter of minutes for $20. Can't beat that. Good customer service too. Recommend.

My overall experience with Redactable has been great. I can't see myself using another redacting program after using this. Redactable is so easy to use that it has become my go-to program whenever I need to redact a document. The operation is so simple that truly anyone could use it.
